Trail of Life
c. 1923

A painting featuring a stylized green leaf with a yellow stripe, emerging from a red, winding path against a dark blue background. The leaf appears to be floating in a circular black void, and the overall composition has a surreal, dreamlike quality. The artist's signature is visible in the lower right corner.
